I truly believe a beaver is one of the brightest engineers in the world..any animal the size of a beaver who can take sticks and strategically place them to where they won't float off while they gather more sticks and brush, truly is something to behold!
I get your point but you can also look at it another way. Beavers are doing what they are supposed to do, managing the watershed for free. Its us humans who have encroached into riparian environments through farming and housing. We need the Beavers just need to find smarter way to co-exist.
Makes me chuckle how the best part is missed cus you're busy working and forget to leave the camera there for a lil while so we can see the gush of water, I blooming love these videos x
I love these types of videos, its so satisfying just to see someone free and make water flow and destroy the thing blocking it. Its just I am worried about the beavers, or its abandoned.
I have an actual question: why destroy a never dam? Holding back water allows it to saturate the fields and land over time. I know out west (Utah, Nevada) beavers are being reintroduced into creeks and rivers to help the land recover from when they were removed in the 1800’s. There are multiple videos and documentaries about it. Why not let nature play it’s part and work around it to help the land stay healthy? Just don’t know what your thoughts are on this and if you have ever seen the destruction that came when the beaver were removed from the waterways our west.
I rekon that beavers and animals really do own the land but as a farmer trying to raise a crop and produce food i cant have them flooding a 100 acres of my crop removing the dam doesn’t rid them of our creeks but things work differently out west then our deep creeks and levee systems do in these parts beavers here rarely build huts to live in either they dig holes in the banks to live in
@@BigCreekFarms 🤔 well I reckon you know a lot more about your land than I do. Was just thinking of if a drought hit, having saturated land or maybe a high ground pond that’ll seep through the ground wouldn’t be a bad thing. I enjoyed watching this video. Thanks partner.
Why is it so satisfying to watch beaver dams get torn down? I could watch this all day. When i was a kid we had a small creek way out behind our house and i would take all my moms pottery and go build a full on dam with a spillway, let it fill up, go swimming in it, then tear down one corner and watch it flood, build back up and repeat
Yeah their only removed if it caused issues like a clogged culvert or if the water is spilling onto the road. Other than that it’s illegal to mess with a beaver dam
Well I can see why the Beavers get pissed when people tear they're damn down when it take so long for them to make it hahaha now they can start over to build another one thanks for the video
Beavers are good for streams.That farmer's field is too close to the waterway. Streams need wide buffers so the water can meander back and for cleaning the water by letting is soak through the dirt back into the aquifer and reduce flooding downstream. Our water resources are dwindling and beaver provide water storage.
I have a case 580 super L (extend hoe) turbo, and I do stuff like this on my days off, so fun, if I was a retired millionaire I’d buy bigger equipment and do this for free, Duno why it’s so fun with a 6pack of beer, almost therapeutic in nature (pun intended) to do this in remote areas by yourself.
Machine videos are always relaxing. Is the landowner actively trapping the beaver making all that? If not, they'll be right back at it, reusing those nice mounds of building material you've stacked up there. For the amount of power those excavators have, they sure are quiet!
I have trapped them in the past but this connects to a larger creek and new families move back in yearly! This trackhoe would be much quieter if it still had a muffler. Thanks for the comment!
@@BigCreekFarms He quite obviously has not, but you did miss a teachable moment. While beaver are responsible for a lot of the arable farmland over the last 10,000 plus years, they can put a farmer out of business in one.

Beavers are excellent engineers and their dams cost nothing but costs several thousand dollars to dismantle them while the Chinese dams cost billions but coat nothing to "burse" them as it bursed by itself. . So beaver engineers are much much smarter and clever in dams building.
If you really want a s**t ton of beavers to remove you from their xmas card list, you should get hold of some ANFO. My grandfather use to blow up beaver dams. The beavers were none to happy with him and his chickens weren't overly thrilled with him either. It would take the chickens a week or so before they started laying eggs again.
You,re a good bloke with that mate , satisfying work , water is life , release it & assist life , the ground can dry out a bit & become a little more productive , the flora & fauna ( plant life ) around that creek recovers & blossoms , but , a simple question for you , how quick do the beavers rebuild the bloody dam again with an average population ? I,m not trying to get sarky , genuine question , as the mad bunch here are threatening to release the damn things , & I,m dead against it . Flooding is already playing merry hell in some regions of this country in high rainfall times , not neccessarily winter . This is due to no maintenance being allowed on the rivers & "creeks " . By the way , your creek is as wide as some canals here , I,m impressed with your J.D. ...I,m, in england . Best Regards , & look forward to your reply .
Very impressive machine operation! Smoooooth! How long did it take the beavers to rebuild the dams? I am a nuisance trapper and have seen them rebuild a dam overnight.
I trap a little as well and yes they usually rebuild any damage over night but in this case they have not yet. To much damage to repair and the fact they have no water to retain now this dam was built in a flood type situation when the water left they had a dam in place to hold back water
Is water so muddy because it's run-off from fields and it just rained? Also, yes, most satisfying thing. I don't know why I watch dam removal videos, but I love them.
G’day, I live in Australia and we don’t have Beavers here. Just curious where they live? I’m assuming it’s not in the dams themselves so is it in the nearby banks??
They plugged the ditch causing the water level to rise flooding the field we farm making it to muddy to plant. Do I go around tearing out beaver dams for fun no it takes time and resources.
How long does it take them to build it back I remember working on one literally clean the pipe out went back a week later don't even look like I was there
There’s a channel called ‘Crashmoments’ that has used footage from this video, the video is called ‘Beaver Dam Removal with Excavators’ published on 26th September 2021. Thought you might wanna know :)
@@BigCreekFarms well it's something I've always wanted to do since I've been a kid lol I'm from Buffalo NY, no employers want to train you here for that
Because their dams create the habitat they need to survive. It also creates a wildlife rich habitat for many other species too, which removing them destroys.
I truly believe a beaver is one of the brightest engineers in the world..any animal the size of a beaver who can take sticks and strategically place them to where they won't float off while they gather more sticks and brush, truly is something to behold!
So let's destroy it!!
I spent 25 years with a backhoe manufacturer. I have seen hundreds of operators. This fellow is one of the best.
If ur saying im the best you must of seen some sad operators but thanks for the compliment and thanks for watching
Looked easy. 🪵🦫🦫🦫🦫🪵
This has been one if not the best one yet. He used alot more logic in his approach to taking them out than others have.
Not everyone can afford to buy, let alone, haul all over creation, pieces of heavy equipment.
Excavator: "They'll never rebuild those dams."
Beaver: "Hold my beer!"
They are better builders than any man
The best bit of your excavator removing beaver dams is watching the water flow freely. And you captured a great view of it 😁
Always amazed at how well beavers make those dams. Couple ground critters dragging sticks around are able to make something that lasts. Unreal.
If you are going to do one thing in life, do it good.
@@oldmech619
^do it well.... :-)
Not only that, but it's amazing how quickly they can put a large dam up.
Thats how God made em
Only to be destroyed on a whim by this man
If only Post 10 would have a shovel like this no streams,creek, and culvert are safe.
Thats for sure i have another one that i need to do this summer
@@BigCreekFarms Please please please video it for us lol
@@BigCreekFarms 4344444455
Post would be fixing everything lololol
RIGHT
Nice work with that shovel.
As old as I'm getting, I still always love observing the power of hydraulics.
Its so impressive it almost as if it is magic.
it is amazing how one animal specie can create jobs!!:-)
1pm: human destroys dam. 2pm: beaver commences dam construction.
Great job, but it's a pleasure to work with such equipment 🔥🔥
Greetings from Poland 🙂
You are so right!! Why is it the most satisfying thing to watch?
Gotta love it
AWESOME!!!! Love love love water projects and you have a new follower. I should have been a civil engineer!!!!
WOW I NEVER SEEN that before THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR VIDEO I JUST JOIN YOUR CHANNEL FROM COLUMBUS TEXAS
Thanks for watching
This does look satisfying. I would pay money to do this.
I would too haha
@@iamantoniofernandez I got to do it once with a log truck grapple. Truly satisfying!
@@alwhalen3488 the way the water flows down phhhhhad, perfect
Cause it is the coolest thing to watch in the world
Great job!!
Excellent work

Beavers are Very Destructive. You’re very lucky to have some heavy duty equipment to Open up.👍
Yup they can be helpful too by cleaning brush up for free

Hey buddy why do you think that ground is so rich?
Nice job. You're right very satisfying
Great job
Dude you're so nice with the excavator! So smooth the whole time
Thanks
The way you handle that Deere, is mesmerizing. This has got to be one of the most satisfying videos that i have seen in a long time.
Thanks glad you liked it and thanks for watching
Makes me chuckle how the best part is missed cus you're busy working and forget to leave the camera there for a lil while so we can see the gush of water, I blooming love these videos x
I have another video if you haven’t seen it did a little better with the camera
I’ve operated a digger but never cleared a dam, doing both must be so much fun
Probably one of the most fun things to do id say
Well done guy. I watch at Thailand
Thats awesome thanks for watching
I love these types of videos, its so satisfying just to see someone free and make water flow and destroy the thing blocking it.
Its just I am worried about the beavers, or its abandoned.
You know someday in the future the beaver will evolve and have their own heavy equipment to work with. Be a whole nother ballgame then..... 😂
I laughed when you said “I don’t know but it’s the most satisfying thing in the world” . When you pulled that long dam apart but it’s true! Lol!
More more more!!!!!!
It is amazing to me that a little beaver did all of this construction!!
They are better builders than men
Very satisfying!
Great job man 👏👏👏
Great vid sir!
155 beavers disliked this video

That is some very nice equipment,
Wow i'm very happy looking your work exavator...

Funny thing is beaver changes the landscape by making the water derail it's course and without them the world right now wouldn't be the same
Yeah their only removed if it caused issues like a clogged culvert or if the water is spilling onto the road. Other than that it’s illegal to mess with a beaver dam
Me gustaría que lo dieran en español me gusta mucho mirarlos trabajar los felizito. Desde Costa Rica miro esos videos gracias

Zeige öfter solche Videos. Gruß aus Deutschland
Smooth.
You just irritated your beavers! Great job.
Amazing to see how much wood an dirt a beaver can move.
And quickly
They only moved wood sand cams with water
They push mud up as well
Working well.. And nice video 👍👍
Thank you!!
Ur video so satisfied... good job sir

these beaver's mind is different.
Recorded horizontally:)
I could just imagine the beavers in background🤣
Somewhere, post 10 is experiencing an eye twitch because the rake was not used, but the beavers are being made homeless.
They are some constructive creators..
Man in excavator 3 Beaver 0. Take that you pesky critters. 🐾

So beaver engineers are much much smarter and clever in dams building.
You are doing a great job . I wonder what goes through the beavers mind when he or she notices the water level dropping so fast
Its like a backwards flood lol
You know the beavers will fill that in just after you had dinner. You left all that clogging material AT the dam sites. LOL
undoing others work is satisfying hehehe

It's satisfying cause it's in our very human genes that flowing water means life
ironically the biomes the beavers generate with their dams creates more life
You are correct

G’day, I live in Australia and we don’t have Beavers here. Just curious where they live? I’m assuming it’s not in the dams themselves so is it in the nearby banks??
Beavers either burrow up into the bank or create a hut in the middle of the water that they have made
@@BigCreekFarms; Thanks mate.
So a 2 ft beaver deployed a truckload worth of debris to build that Dam? wow!!! Beavers are Nature's civil engineers...
Can I ask why this is necessary without getting my head bit off?
They plugged the ditch causing the water level to rise flooding the field we farm making it to muddy to plant. Do I go around tearing out beaver dams for fun no it takes time and resources.
How big is that bucket?
Cheers :-) X 3
Rewatching
Those damn hairy beavers can cause trouble
Meanwhile Beavers "oh no, all our hard work"
You have very clever and industrious beavers at your property! Sad their way of life and livelihood must be challenged.
I know he's a farmer and he's busy, but i would have liked if he'd gone back or waited a bit so we could see how much the water went down.
